About
the Speakers
Keynote
Speaker - Bruce Vincent
 Bruce
Vincent is a third generation
logger from Libby, Montana.
Bruce helped form and is
currently serving as President
of Communities For A Great
Northwest, Executive Director of
Provider Pals and is co-owner of
Environomics. “With Vision,
There is Hope”—It is time
for change—and change can be
our friend. America is ready for
a new vision of conservation and
environmental stewardship that
is based upon hope instead of
fear. In order to share this
vision we must first reintroduce
the American consumer to the
people and the processes of food
production and have a line item
in our business plan to engage
the discussion over our
environment. Farmers work at the
ground level in implementing
society’s framework for
protecting the environment. This
leading edge position provides
challenges and, if we focus on
leading and not just fighting,
exciting opportunities and hope
for the next generation of
agriculture in America.
